A pair of restaurateurs have opened a cafe in Sydney's CBD which uses sustainable packaging with a design edge.

Named Zilia, meaning 'envy' in Greek, the cafe is becoming known for its humorous coffee cups, salad boxes and carry bags.

Serving premium food made from local and sustainable produce, the takeaway packaging options reflect the owners' cheekiness and zest for life.

The brand seeks to engage consumers using a fresh, funny, personal design concept.
